Ok, so the snake was evil. We can accept that premise. So Mr. Snakey convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. God told her not to so that's, clearly, her bad. Eve convinced Adam to eat said forbidden fruit, too. We get that he was cast out for it but why was his sin any less than a matter of circumstances? Really, why could he have been convinced by Eve and not Mr. Snakey? Aren't their sins exactly the same? Did they not both allow themselves to fall vitim to the same fault?
So, then, why were all women punished for Eve's sin but no men punished for Adam's (besides the whole expulsion form Eden thing). Why does this make women more inherently evil and deserving of punishment than men?
Just in case this is your arguement... If men are supposed to be smarter and less likely to fall victim to Mr. Snakey why was Adam dumb enough not to realize Eve's naivete?
